Well, no-one has guessed right this year even for the tracks we had already been to... we will know by Sat night... or maybe not, judging by the weather!

No worries chap. We all realize we are only here once... Part of the reason we race while we can. Sometimes though, very occasionally, something is more important than racing (very occasionally). Joking aside, I hope things work out for the best.

Hurry back though... I need someone to occupy Bradders before he gets too fast!

Yes, you do. Now I am back from the deepest darkest depths of the Swedish countryside I have updated the Wiki page.

...it will be interesting to see I I'm anywhere near (if it is dry)!

I wasn't too far off the mark in the end, with Class A coming out at 2m16s and Class B at 2m 22s.

sure you had a second or two in the tank ;)

I may have had a second on the back straight but dont think I could have made any more time up in any corner - possibly excepting the last - and am amazed we broke the 23's (Phil and Neal the 22's)

wonder what will happen to the Pembrey time

Not a lot. Dallas posted a superhuman time he couldn't even match on the same bike with a 620 motor upgrade!

To be honest Dallas didn't do that many race laps last year and Friday Practice and Saturday racing were Wet so again not a lot of track time compared to the year before, when we had 3 days of glorious sunshine.

The Pembrey Class B lap record is the closest percentage wise to the Class A Lap record at any of the Circuits we visit, so should be the hardest to beat, but in the dry these Dunlops have got to be better around the Woodlands kink and Honda curve than the older Diablos.

Still in a few weeks we'll find out
